Depending on the previous customer relationship, there will be different next steps:

If you are already DKB customer and use the current account as a salary account, then you are done!

If you are already a customer, but you do not receive your salary payments on the DKB current account, then you will have to attach a copy of the current proof of income (e.g. salary slip) to the loan application or the bank statement of the bank where your receive your salary payments. The current month is enough!

If you are not yet a DKB customer, then you will also have to attach a proof of income in copy. Additionally, the statutory legitimating is required. For the DKB loan, there is currently only the PostIdent-procedure. You can send the loan application documents free of charge with the identification letter.

All other documents are informative and determined to remain with you.

Summary

One has to sign once the cover letter to the bank and twice the loan application. Both (a total of 7 pages) have to be sent back to the DKB. As an existing customer, no new legitimating is required. Customers, who receive their salary payments on the DKB current account, do not need to submit proof of income. New customers can send the loan application documents easily and free of charge together with the PostIdent.
